one_o for_o our_o saviour_n tell_v we_o that_o the_o angel_n of_o the_o little_a one_o see_v the_o bliss_n face_n of_o his_o heavenly_a father_n it_o have_v be_v the_o constant_a faith_n of_o

that_o point_n i_o pray_v what_o obligation_n they_o have_v i_o to_o pray_v to_o angel_n and_o saint_n and_o how_o can_v they_o hear_v i_o have_v no_o ear_n nor_o other_o corporal_a sense_n by_o which_o to_o come_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o my_o prayer_n m._n if_o we_o remember_v angel_n good_a and_o saint_n be_v in_o perfect_a bliss_n and_o happiness_n we_o shall_v easy_o discover_v that_o all_o service_n or_o hoe_v nour_n do_v to_o saint_n by_o we_o be_v not_o for_o their_o good_a but_o for_o we_o and_o so_o the_o keep_v holy_a day_n build_v church_n and_o set_v up_o altar_n unto_o

of_o devotion_n soever_o be_v in_o private_a use_v to_o their_o honour_n be_v to_o be_v govern_v by_o the_o same_o principle_n now_o the_o utility_n redound_v to_o the_o church_n be_v that_o whereas_o human_a nature_n be_v easy_o and_o weary_a of_o be_v carry_v above_o itself_o by_o prayer_n and_o other_o spiritual_a exercise_n and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n delight_v with_o variety_n and_o

such_o a_o affinity_n to_o their_o own_o condition_n than_o by_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o preach_v or_o good_a counsel_n by_o this_o you_o may_v see_v what_o obligation_n there_o be_v to_o honour_v saint_n and_o pray_v to_o they_o namely_o when_o the_o church_n for_o the_o common_a person_n good_a of_o her_o child_n prescribe_v it_o then_o that_o be_v to_o be_v do_v whatsoever_o she_o command_v

man_n say_v it_o be_v of_o great_a importance_n towards_o live_v well_o to_o have_v the_o assistance_n of_o some_o special_a saint_n which_o be_v in_o high_a favour_n with_o almighty_a god_n particular_o of_o the_o bless_a virgin_n mother_n of_o god_n and_o have_v be_v tell_v story_n how_o she_o have_v obtain_v remission_n of_o sin_n for_o some_o person_n to_o who_o christ_n our_o

enough_o so_o one_o it_o fire_n spring_v from_o another_o yet_o the_o new_a fire_n be_v not_o call_v the_o other_o fire_n son_n s._n i_o see_v now_o they_o must_v both_o at_o least_o be_v live_v thing_n else_o they_o can_v well_o be_v call_v father_n and_o son_n m._n i_o doubt_v this_o be_v not_o yet_o enough_o think_v you_o not_o likewise_o that_o the_o father_n remain_v in_o the_o son_n according_a to_o some_o part_n of_o he_o of_o which_o the_o son_n be_v make_v s._n i_o imagine_v so_o sir_n else_o i_o know_v not_o how_o i_o come_v by_o this_o matter_n i_o have_v for_o i_o be_o tell_v god_n create_v none_o a_o new_a m._n sum_v up_o than_o what_o have_v be_v say_v and_o you_o will_v find_v that_o a_o son_n be_v a_o live_a thing_n proceed_v from_o a_o live_a thing_n of_o like_a nature_n as_o from_o a_o principle_n remain_v in_o it_o this_o be_v settle_v tell_v i_o next_o what_o think_v you_o of_o god_n or_o the_o divine_a nature_n be_v he_o not_o a_o live_a thing_n s._n yes_o without_o doubt_n he_o that_o give_v life_n to_o all_o thing_n must_v needs_o god_n himself_o have_v life_n or_o be_v live_v m._n and_o in_o god_n whence_o proceed_v this_o knowledge_n of_o

or_o of_o like_a nature_n with_o 〈◊〉_d as_o be_v show_v and_o that_o this_o nature_n in_o our_o case_n be_v in_o both_o knower_n and_o thing_n know_v live_v and_o that_o knowledge_n of_o god_n proceed_v from_o god_n as_o a_o know_v object_n or_o thing_n know_v last_o that_o the_o divine_a essence_n know_v remain_v in_o the_o knowledge_n that_o proceed_v from_o it_o be_v it_o not_o plain_a that_o knowledge_n of_o himself_o in_o god_n proceed_v as_o a_o live_a thing_n son_n from_o a_o live_n of_o the_o same_o nature_n as_o from_o a_o principle_n remain_v in_o it_o that_o be_v as_o we_o show_v that_o this_o knowledge_n be_v proper_o a_o son_n this_o the_o divine_a nature_n know_v proper_o a_o father_n and_o so_o that_o there_o be_v in_o god_n father_n and_o son_n father_n s._n i_o think_v sir_n i_o now_o begin_v to_o see_v some_o glimpse_n how_o the_o eternal_a son_n be_v beget_v of_o his_o father_n which_o before_o sound_v strange_o to_o i_o how_o he_o be_v god_n of_o god_n only_o beget_v the_o wisdom_n and_o image_n of_o his_o eternal_a father_n and_o such_o like_a expression_n which_o i_o have_v read_v in_o the_o crred_n and_o prayer-book_n but_o never_o can_v frame_v any_o conceit_n of_o they_o which_o make_v my_o devotion_n very_o dull_a and_o dry_a but_o likewise_o still_o you_o have_v tell_v i_o nothing_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n m._n do_v you_o not_o tell_v i_o that_o thing_n a_o spirit_n have_v will_n as_o well_o as_o understanding_n or_o knowledge_n if_o then_o the_o proper_a act_n of_o the_o will_v be_v love_n and_o that_o you_o grant_v god_n love_v himself_o that_o be_v be_v the_o thing_n love_v and_o thing_n love_v that_o be_v the_o same_o nature_n or_o god_n be_v in_o both_o yet_o as_o love_v and_o love_a import_v distinction_n as_o well_o as_o knowledge_n and_o thing_n know_v you_o will_v easy_o gather_v by_o a_o dsicourse_v love_n parallel_n to_o the_o former_a that_o there_o must_v be_v in_o god_n beside_o father_n and_o son_n a_o three_o that_o be_v love_n one_o in_o nature_n yet_o distinct_a in_o relation_n which_o be_v that_o we_o call_v the_o holy_a ghost_n s._n i_o apprehend_v in_o some_o degree_n how_o the_o discourse_n go_v but_o i_o see_v not_o why_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v say_v to_o proceed_v from_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n m._n remember_v well_o that_o the_o also_o holy_a ghost_n be_v love_n and_o then_o tell_v i_o what_o be_v that_o whence_o love_n proceed_v in_o rational_a thing_n or_o that_o which_o rational_a thing_n love_v good_a s._n that_o which_o be_v their_o good_a m._n and_o what_o judge_v you_o to_o be_v the_o the_o proper_a good_a of_o a_o intellectual_a nature_n be_v it_o not_o truth_n s._n i_o think_v you_o mean_v by_o intellectual_a capable_a of_o know_v and_o truth_n then_o it_o be_v plain_a nothing_o be_v so_o opposite_a and_o destructive_a to_o it_o as_o error_n for_o they_o who_o have_v this_o perfect_o know_v nothing_o wherefore_o this_o also_o truth_n must_v by_o consequence_n be_v the_o perfection_n and_o proper_a good_a of_o a_o intellectual_a nature_n m._n you_o answer_v learned_o but_o knowledge_n i_o fear_v it_o be_v only_o repeat_v by_o rote_n what_o i_o have_v so_o oft_o tell_v you_o well_o and_o in_o what_o consist_v truth_n be_v it_o not_o in_o this_o that_o the_o object_n be_v in_o the_o knowledge_n s._n i_o conceive_v so_o sir_n m._n and_o what_o object_n can_v be_v knowledge_n worthy_a god_n understanding_n or_o proportion_v to_o it_o s._n none_o sure_a but_o himself_o or_o his_o own_o essence_n m._n you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o good_a proper_a to_o he_o and_o consequent_o the_o source_n of_o divine_a love_n be_v that_o the_o divine_a essence_n as_o object_n or_o son_n know_v be_v in_o the_o divine_a knowledge_n which_o include_v as_o be_v show_v father_n and_o son_n from_o both_o therefore_o conjoint_o divine_a love_n or_o the_o holy_a ghost_n proceed_v s._n i_o be_o much_o please_v with_o this_o love_n but_o why_o be_v he_o call_v holy_a be_v not_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n as_o holy_a as_o he_o m._n yes_o but_o you_o must_v conceive_v call_v that_o some_o sort_n of_o action_n be_v appropriate_v to_o each_o of_o those_o three_o and_o so_o as_o nothing_o can_v be_v holy_a so_o proper_a to_o teach_v we_o knowledge_n of_o god_n as_o that_o which_o be_v essential_o divine_a knowledge_n or_o the_o

more_o hearten_v and_o comfort_v one_o in_o the_o pursuit_n of_o heaven_n than_o ardent_a love_n of_o it_o s._n you_o have_v show_v i_o sir_n a_o trinity_n in_o god_n but_o i_o know_v not_o what_o
